Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Yup, September 11th today. September 11th 2001. A date most of us would never forget. Shall not say much. Today in 2001, a great tragedy happened in America. But what Satan meant for evil, God has turned it for good. Read my post on Oct 16 last year. You'll understand. It was on this day that I believe God's love was demonstrated for a nation, God's power made known in darkness. Let us never forget 911. This song was written in America's darkest hour. Just a few days after the tragedy, Michael W Smith met up in Oval Office with the President and was asked to write a song about the events that shocked the world. Out of this conversation came "There She Stands", a song of hope in this tragedy. Most videos on youtube couldn't do this song justice, so here's the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR5lYVwnV3E Let's face it, US is not my country. I might seem patriotic towards a country I don't belong to. But when i remeber 911, i can't help think of God's amazing love and grace. I can't help finding it amazing that God planted the cross in the rubble.
Listen to the lyrics.
To you who is reading this and is facing trials, sufferings and pressure: Our God Reigns. When the planes crashed into the World Trade Centre and Pentagon. Our God Reigns. When the world was recovering from the shock of such a tragedy. Our God Reigns. When Hurricane Katrina struck. Our God Reigns. When millions of Africans died in famine. Our God Reigns. When the tsunamis struck much of Asia. Our God Reigns. When Jesus died on the cross. Our God Reigns. Whenever you are in trials and sufferings. Our God Reigns. Whenever all hope has seemed to be gone. Our God Reigns. Whenever you feel like giving up and your spiritual waters have ran dry. Our God Reigns. You see, there was never a time when God lost control. When Jesus died, He was still in control. When 911 happened, He was stil in control. He reigns. No matter what happens, no matter what we may face, rest in the fact that He Reigns. Sept 11th was a day that shook the world. But as I look back, I knew that day, God was in control. He reigns. You might face difficulties and pressure even as the exams draw near. But when your hope is in Jesus, you can never be shaken, because no matter what happens, He Reigns.
